(Intro: percussão tribal suave + vocal repetindo “Sabudu ndi chisangalalo” como mantra)
[Verse 1]
Siku ya mwenga, ngoma inalia,
Mwoyo wangu unacheza, bar ndiyo njia.
Ndipo mke wangu, na macho makali,
Ananipata pale, bar ya usiku kali.
[Chorus]
Mwenga ni furaha, mwenga ni moto,
Ngoma ya Afro inabeba mwili wote.
Mke wangu ananipata, hakuna kutoroka,
Katika mikono yake, moyo unarudi nyumbani.
[Verse 2]
Sabudu yafika, ngoma yathandiza, Moyo wanga uliya, bar ndiyu chisomo.
Mfumukadzi wanga, na maso a mphamvu, Anandipeza, pakati pa mowa ndi nyimbo.
[Chorus]
Sabudu ndi chisangalalo, ndi moto pa nthaka,
Afro House imanditenga, imandipatsa mphamvu.
Iye andipeza, sindingathawire,
Mu manja ake, ndibwerera kunyumba.
[Bridge]
Pamoja tuko pamoja, ngoma inatupasha nguvu,
Moyo unarudi nyumbani, kwa upendo wetu.
[Chorus]
Moto pa nthaka, moyo wanga uyaka,
Mu manja ake, ndibwerera kunyumba.
[Outro]
Usiku unaendelea, tutaonana tena, tunatimba pamoja.
